Is anyone aware of an app that will allow you to watch your youtube playlists, and it will jump to the next playlist item automatically? I've scoured appbrain and the app market and I haven't found anything similar yet.
I like to add a lot of random music I find on youtube to playlists and review it later, and it would be nice to listen to this while I'm driving, but the built-in youtube app just plays one item at a time and stops. I know there are a lot of apps that let you download youtube videos to your phone, but that is really too slow and overkill for what I'm trying to do.
I guess Flash on Froyo may be an option once it's available, but it seems like this wouldn't be that hard of an app to put together.

So my last cell phone was the HTC shadow from Tmobile. It was windows based and could do everything this phone can albeit with older hardware tech, yet I could play a youtube video or some streaming audio from a website then go back to the browser and start surfing the web and reading other sites, while the audio played in the background.
The G2x is my first android device and not only does the battery life suck, but now I find that I can't even multitask! I've searched if the G2x or any android device could stream music/audio and browse at the same time and found no adequate answer. The only one that gave me hope was to hold down the home key and you'd get the last 6 apps you've used, but this still it does not work, and the music/audio cuts off the moment I want to browse in another window.
Is there anyway to listen to an audio on one window, open another and surf the net, while the audio is still playing in the other window?
I don't know exactly which applications you're using, but this works fine for me with Pandora -- keeps right on playing while I browse.
I think he is trying to browse and use sound from a youtube video at the same time. I have never needed to do this. If you get an app like Pandora and Grooveshark you can stream music and do whatever you want at the same time.
Sounds like he is trying to stream audio from a website via the web browser. the web browser needs to be on screen with the screen on and unlocked for sound to stream.
however if you use an app like pandora or soundcloud you can let it run in the background
Yeah, I tried playing a Flash-based stream in the browser; the OP is right, as soon as I switched to a different window within the browser or switched to a different app, Flash stopped streaming. Same thing with YouTube. I don't know why. The hardware and OS are certainly capable of it, as shown by Pandora, etc.
Try SkyFire.
Back to the days I was using Nexus One 2.2. I was only able to play BBC iplayer with Flash background was SkyFire. When you get video prompt when you're about to play flash-based player, let SkyFire runs on its own way. In which you can play it in the background.

I've. Tried it on dolphin, skyfire, stock and other free browers and each time I play a video on YouTube or an audio mp3 stream from a particular site then try and open another window to browse the audio cuts of. Only when I make that window active will the audio video begin to stream again. This feature should be standard, since all windows mobile smart phones can do this, no problem.
Does anybody have a YouTube app or client that allows video playback while screen is off?

Try Play Tube free. It plays videos in background and screen off. Even let's you create playlists.
Its in the play store.
EDIT-
Ahhh here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213945
I've used a few modded youtube apps and I love this one by far the best. The developer, OsamaGhareeb is amazing. Constant updates and is usually very active in his threads. It's calld OG Youtube Downloader. It allows you to download youtube videos to your sd card, also has the option to download it in MP3 format if there's a song on there you wanna keep. However, for your purposes the screen off playback option works great! I use to use it all the time listening to youtube videos and falling asleep lol.
So I'm trying to use Youtube as a music player app on my vanilla Android phone, shame on me.
I want to be able to login to my account, start a playlist, and listen to the track in the background, Viral Pop works well and sounds great, but as far as I can tell there's no way to get it to follow playlists (so one song is played at the time).
I contacted the Viral Pop maker and he sent me an apk to allegedly enable playlist following, but it still ain't working.
Good morning,
I would like to ask, why I cannot choose to play a streaming video (like youtube videos) with mx-player and I can only play the stream with the browser built-in player. I use opera browser, but I have already tested a lot of different browsers without seeing any difference; the browsers don't give me the option to use another player, they don't see mx-player as an appropriate app.
Also I tried, to copy and past the videos URL into Network Stream box, but it doesn't work anyway.
Thank You for the support.
I use tubemate to watch youtube videos with less res.
Instead of downloading you can select watch it and select any player you want.

I still would like to figure out if there is a way to stream/play youtube video's automatically to my MX player...
The reason I want to find out, is that youtube is fast becoming the new music player of today... just type in a search for a band/artist (ie. "michael jackson") or general selection like (ie: "salsa music") and you'll be listening for hours to your favorite music.
But using the youtube app or the native browser is not satisfactory, because they will both stop playing/streaming once you lock the screen of your phone.
So if I want to listen to my favorite music while running, I can not use these sources.
MX player has the ability to keep streaming/playing music while the screen is locked...
And that is why I'm looking for a way to stream from youtube to this player.
Help!?!

Hey guys and gals today I am going to present to you my app.
It's my first time to post here on xda so I am a little nervous, and to answer yes there are other app's that do what i do. But I intended to streamline the process than rather opening the app and have you search the video you want to watch within the app. I thought of just using the youtube app to get the videos you want by sharing it to the uAu App . But even if at least I get 1 person to find my app handy that would be awesome!
Have you ever wanted to just listen to watch a video or even listen to some songs on YouTube while being able to browse the internet or even 9GAG?
But unfortunately, you have to either choose to watch videos only or just browse the net. This is where uAu comes in handy. uAu is an android app that lets you watch youtube videos while being able to do other stuff on your phone.
All you have to do is find the video you want to watch or listen to on the YouTube App and then just SHARE the video to uAu. Then presto, you are able to watch or listen to your favourite videos while being able to do other stuff on your phone!
uAu provides the following features:
Add Videos to your playlist, by sharing Youtube Videos to the uAu App.
Shuffle your playlist items!
Watch YouTube videos on a Minimized Player with notification Controls.
Watch YouTube videos on a Floating Player.
Watch YouTube videos on Fullscreen.
How to use uAu:
With Youtube App
Open your YouTube App
Pick a Video to watch or listen to and share it with the uAu App.
That's it! You are good to go.
Without YouTube App
Get the YouTube Video URL you want to watch or listen to.
Paste the Youtube URL into the uAu App.
Thanks for your time,
